Why cant yeast be left out of the fridge? i am going to try putting in a growler with an airlock with some beer on top! people say you can leave your beer fermenting for weeks before bottling, so do the yeast die off during this time, I think they go dormant because there is no food, but what do I know!

Cooler temperatures force them to go dormant and drastically slows their metabolism. Otherwise, they'll die off at a faster rate.
